Your 5-Minute Calm Kit - A Simple Way To Reset

Your 5-Minute Calm Kit - A Simple Way To Reset

Updated on  

There are days when everything feels a little too much, and moments when we need a gentle pause. Not a complete reset, not a retreat. Just five minutes to breathe, slow down, and return to ourselves.

That’s what a Calm Kit is all about. A few carefully chosen items, close to hand, ready to help you feel calmer, grounded, and gently supported by the power of aromatherapy. This is your five-minute ritual: simple, comforting, and always at hand.

 

What Is A Calm Kit?

A Calm Kit is exactly what it sounds like: a small collection of items you can turn to in moments of stress, distraction or overwhelm. It’s there to soothe your senses, reset your thoughts, and help you feel more at ease. They’re used in many different ways, at work, before bed, while travelling, or simply as part of your daily self-care. But at the heart of every Calm Kit is one thing: a moment of intention.

 

Your Go-To Essentials For Calm

At the centre of your Calm Kit are two key products from our Wellbeing Travel Bundle (also available separately): the USB Diffuser and your choice of one of our Wellbeing Trios, available in Nurture or Serenity. Together, they create a gentle and supportive ritual, wherever you are.

 

1. USB Diffuser

Our USB Diffuser is small, simple and designed to go wherever you do. You can plug it into a laptop, power bank, car adaptor or use it with batteries, and in seconds, you’ll be surrounded by fragrance. 

It’s beautifully quiet, requires no special setup, and is ideal for:

  • Desk-side pauses

  • Bedtime wind-downs

  • Travel transitions (airports, hotel rooms, trains)

  • A mindful moment between meetings or errands

 

Choose Your Wellbeing Trio

You can personalise your Calm Kit with one of two Wellbeing Trio options. Both include:

  1. Essential Oil (10ml) - This pure essential oil is the heart of the trio. Add a few drops directly onto the pad in your portable USB diffuser, and enjoy not only the benefits but also the scent of this fragrance. 

  2. Room & Linen Mist (10ml) - Light and versatile, this mist brings instant calm to your surroundings. Spritz into the air, onto pillows or soft furnishings to gently scent the space. It’s perfect for travel, shared environments, or any moment where diffusing oils may not be possible. Keep nearby in your bag, car, or bedside drawer for on-the-go grounding.

  3. Pulse Point Roll-On (10ml) - This compact roll-on offers a subtle, scent-based pick-me-up you can carry with you. Apply to wrists, temples or behind the ears and take a moment to breathe deeply.

Each is beautifully blended and available in either the Nurture or Serenity blend.

 

Nurture Wellbeing Trio

Focus: Calm, De-Stress, Sleep

The Nurture Wellbeing Trio brings together three products infused with our warm, grounding Nurture blend, designed to help you feel safe, settled and supported wherever the day takes you. With soft citrus notes from May Chang and the comforting depth of Sandalwood and Roman Chamomile, the scent is calming. 

It's perfect for moments of overstimulation, emotional tension or quiet reflection. Whether you're easing into the morning, resetting between tasks or winding down at night, each product offers a gentle invitation to pause, breathe and return to yourself.

 

Serenity Wellbeing Trio

Focus: Uplift, Balance, Focus

The Serenity Wellbeing Trio brings together three products infused with our uplifting Serenity blend, created to restore clarity, balance and emotional lightness throughout your day. With floral top notes of Lemongrass and Neroli, softened by the gentle sweetness of Geranium, the scent is bright yet soothing, ideal for moments when you feel overstretched, low in energy or mentally foggy. 

Whether you’re transitioning between tasks, resetting your focus or finding space to reconnect, each product in the trio offers a calm, floral lift. Helping you feel more present, more balanced, and quietly re-energised.

 

 

How To Use Your Calm Kit In 5 Minutes

When you’re short on time but need a reset, this quick ritual helps you slow down and reconnect, wherever you are.

  • Minute 1 - Set the Space (Anywhere): Pause. If you’re at your desk, in the car, or in a waiting room, that’s enough. This moment is for you.

  • Minute 2 - Spray and Apply: Spritz your Room & Linen Mist into the air or onto your clothing, scarf or pillow. Then apply the Pulse Point Roll-On to your wrists. Let the scent settle and rise.

  • Minutes 3 & 4 - Breathe: Close your eyes if you can. Inhale deeply for four counts, hold for four, exhale for six. Repeat slowly. Let the scent guide your breath.

  • Minute 5 - Reconnect: Place a hand on your chest or stomach. Hold something comforting (a warm mug, a pen, a soft texture). Let the ritual close gently, no rushing.

Using your USB diffuser? This is a great choice for at-home or on-the-go rituals. Add a few drops of essential oil to the pad, and enjoy a steady stream of scent while you breathe.

 

Using The USB Diffuser: Tips & Care

The USB Diffuser is perfect for use at home, on your office desk or during travel. It’s easy to use and powered by a USB lead or batteries.

To keep it working beautifully:

  • Empty the tank after each use - pour water away from the fan opening.

  • Wipe around the lid and edges to avoid moisture build-up.

  • Gently clean the ionising disc (the small silver circle at the bottom) weekly with a cotton bud. This helps prevent limescale and keeps the mist flowing smoothly.

  • Replace absorbing pads regularly, especially if switching blends.

  • Store dry between uses, especially when travelling.

What Else Could You Include?

Your Calm Kit is yours to build, and it’s normal for it to grow and change over time. Alongside your diffuser and oils, you might like to include:

  • A calming quote or handwritten note to yourself

  • A small object with meaning, like a pebble, a crystal or a shell

  • A teabag of your favourite tea

  • A pocket journal or pen

Each of these additions is there to support the senses. Touch, scent, sound and even warmth can all help soothe the nervous system.

 

 

A Calm Kit On The Move

The Wellbeing Travel Bundle is designed to come with you. Small enough for your handbag or hand luggage, and simple enough to use without setup, it helps you find calm on your terms. Whether you're away for work, managing a busy household, or just carving out time for yourself during the day, your Calm Kit becomes a steady companion always within reach.

 

A Gentle Moment To Take With You

A Calm Kit isn’t just a group of objects; it’s a quiet invitation. A small way of saying: you matter, your peace matters, and it’s okay to take a moment for yourself. Through the gentle power of aromatherapy, even five minutes can become a turning point in your day. Let this ritual meet you wherever you are. Let calm come with you.
